NAUGATUCK -- Police arrested a woman after they said she hit her 13-year-old daughter with a shoe, locked her out of their apartment for hours and poured hot water on her on Independence Day.

Florence Barnett-Levy, 39, of 933 Rubber Ave., had been shopping with her daughter on July 3, said Lt. Greg Dean of the Naugatuck Police Department. After they got back to their apartment in the Southwood complex, they discovered that a bag of purchased clothes had been left behind in a Waterbury store and Barnett-Levy blamed her daughter, Dean said.

Barnett-Levy became upset and began to yell at about 11 p.m., Dean said. She hit her daughter on her back and legs with a sneaker, but the teen did not sustain significant injuries, Dean said.
